I listen to Madden's show once and awhile and when I hear him insult Randell, O'Connor, and Onorato it is very counter productive to the Penguins cause. (BAD PUN WARNING) He is really taking the issue to heart, and it's entertaining and great for ratings but what we need right now is someone who can handle these 3 politicians with more tact then a 13 year old.

Madden might suffer from machoism or something but there is no good excuse for making it easy for them not to go on his show. Or did Onorato go on his show before? I think he did and I think he tip-toed around all of Madden's questions effortlessly. In any event if he really thinks he can help (if he even wants too) then he should tone it down and stop turning everything into a WWF match. THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT TO BE HANDLED WITH MADDENS RICO FATA FINESSE.

Rope-a- dope is what is needed. Lure them in and then let them have it. Referring to them as "pigs" (which they are) and whatever makes it easy for them to refuse to appear and thus avoid the issue while at the same time making the Penguins look like the ones who are in the wrong. The Penguins have the facts on their side yet they keep leaning on the conspiracy theory without backing it up with a POSITIVE list of economic bonuses that are weighed against the negatives of the Harris plan.

It is indeed PITTSBURGH FIRST so lets show that we have some dignity as Pittsburghers and win this thing for all the right reasons, not just despite all the wrong doing.

I don't want him to tone it down even a notch. Where he can have a positive impact with this is on the people who may not know all the facts. The big key here is getting as much public support as possible.
Insults may not be everyones cup of tea, but insults usually make people listen.

THere are so many people who are not educated about either one of these plans and the corruption that may be taking place right before us.

If his approach is via insult, then so be it. Atleast he is shedding light on this..even if that light may be a tad blurry.
